Nice to be here. Very nice to be here.
I'm just sending to Nams Brazil community that our space has started.
I'm not sure if you need to solve about you.
Know your connection is good. Good. Good. How was the travel? Are you feeling well? Are you jet lagged? Are you doing are you also sick? Are you good?
I'm a little bit sick, I have a soft throat. But that's okay, it's almost impossible to make a trip like that and it's been lost a little of your healthy right?
Yeah, as I was with Jack Jack legs on Monday and Tuesday, but now I'm okay now I I've arrest a lot and ready for the next one
Awesome man. Looks like he's not dead yet. He's probably a few steps away from the Grazier.
I would bet that Vinyu was almost like me because everyone that attended at Jiond Denver is a little bit sick or tired or both.
And I've got this sore throat. And I went to the doctor today to see, and I'm a med-medication now.
But that's okay. No worries. Yeah, we should guys. I wish you guys a fast healing. Yeah.
I have a question. I have some questions.
to start to kickstart here. I would like to know what was the highlight of it then? So what did you like the most?
So I arrived there one week before the main event, so I was there during the hackathon.
That was my first eith damber.
And to be honest, I thought that the hackathon would be more interesting for me. Because I wasn't there to hack, no? I was there to meet some
and the main investors and connections arrived on March 1st.
I was there waiting for them and they were there. But for me the main highlight was the main event when I arrived there on Thursday.
It was huge the site there. There were lots of stands and booths, one more impressive than the other.
Metamask, one inch lens, Jane Link, they were all amazing and I was very impressed with the
The details of the dedication that people gave there, you were all very excited
about being there and I sent some videos about a of the event and I think you guys saw it.
so it was very impressive definitely an event. But one thing that I liked the most was to
What then decided events I went to to bankless I guess have happy hour to the tech on from
sense smash there was another event there only for VC so it was amazing
Great. I have heard that Lynx was very cool. The merch, the, you know, all this stuff about related to Lynx.
So I'm very bullish about lens right now. Nifty fight now has a lens that that's cool. So if you have a lens and don't follow yet, Nifty fight you can follow it.
Go ahead, Sophie. Two things that I don't want to ask, Vinny, first one I want to comment on lens. lens, merge protocol was so cool, so cool, so cool that people
get into line to get like since they won they get into line to get some some of the merch but the merch was stalled like stalled in the in the
And then third date and who will need to be in Bamford and the middle of the conference that is well secured to be
So you're very murky, it'd be very, very cool. But going to be with some questions, I know that Nifty if I have similar relations with Constance is my Ash and then Baekhyun, can you explain how
What they do, actually, what is the main goal of these projects, these organizations, and how NiftyFi is connected with them, how NiftyFi is supported by them.
Great, great. So in 2021, we participated in the second cohort of the Filecoin Accelerator Program powered by consensus mesh and tech and that is a
a great accelerator program powered by these two giants in the Web3 market. And we participated there and now we are partners of them. And every event around the world they have like a
a house and a place to all their illuminies to attend, so they can get together and have some drinks, some nice conversation, and it's like a great
and meet, you know, all the aluminum and current deck and founders, they get together and talk and represent their new ideas and get together with investors and
mentors. So this year in the end where they hosted a brunch in a very nice place there and I get I got the opportunity to to be there as well.
and talked to the main mainters that we had contact with. And I also met Ben Lackoff there because Ben is one of the mainters of Tekken.
and now he has a very impressive authorship with bankless, bankless fund, I guess they have like thirty or thirty five million dollars fund to investing companies and I got the
the personality to talk to him in person for the first time. So that for me was one of the main highlights as well because I am a huge fan of Ben and he has been our
Supporter since the beginning with John particles and yet was ready to meet him there as well as all the other founders and mentors in Tekken.
This is awesome, this is awesome, Vinicius. I'm happy that you like achieve to find people that you admire there and have the opportunity to talk to these people in person. It's certainly very nice.
So besides that, about the structure of the... And the use of... And Kuri, what they do like that the most. I think Vinny is not hurting Hermes anymore.
Yeah, it happens sometimes in its Twitter spaces hugged us. Oh, it's the main rug, the main rug. You hear me? Yeah.
You can go out and go here again. Usually this fix that problem.
I'm too bad now because it's like I kicked the gas out of the space. Yeah, exactly.
I can hear you.
Yeah, I know a lot of this until you're not and you really need to hear this yes, I am
Great, great, great. I was saying how it is cool to meet people in real life that you already meet. Definitely. And I'm happy for you that you have this experience.
Yes, it was excellent. I had met Ben like in three million calls, you know, and only online. And when I met him in person, I was Ben, started you and he was
very nice note to meet him and person. He is such a very nice guy. He was very ambitious and we talked a lot there about Nifty Fie, about Suvenflip and it was awesome.
I'm looking forward to also have these experiences went off because I have made so many friends in the web tree. And you guys from Nifty Fight was also when we met in person. So I'm looking forward to such experience. So I was asking you before other than the
your highlights and stuff. What your grades on the event, like organization, the structure of it, the city was the city. I know it was called as hell there, but was it like a while coming? Was it a nice experience?
Like in general? Yeah, I loved it. For me it was excellent. I don't have nothing to complain. And for me it wasn't very well organized at the event.
I couldn't see any problems there.
There were there was some
some lines to read for example but that's inevitable but this structure was amazing there although there were too many people there I guess like more than 20,000 people at any
event. It wasn't that crowd, you know, because the event was huge. The event got lost there because there were too many booths and stands to visit and when you kept
walking there was you you discovered some some hidden places there were in which some some speakers were talking panels and it was amazing there there was even like a
a place they are to with with with a DJ where people could dance and sit on
I think it's poofs. And there were some people sleeping there as well. But it was great.
This structure was amazing.
[sniffing]
For me the mic of Hermes is off. Yeah, I'm not I'm not I was speaking muted here. I always forget to unmute myself. Sorry guys. It happens. Well, great great. We need to great answer and
I mean, now we don't want you to spoil, but are you happy with the conversations that you had there? Do you think that you gave some steps towards our objective there? It was a productive trip.
do you want to do it? You judge. Yes, yes. It was awesome. I think I achieved most of the goals there. I talked to Ben Larkov. I even met a guy that I
The the podcast with last year his name is Humpty. He is the host of Crypto Sapiens podcast and Wow, I met him Very randomly, you know, I he was I was checking
in the event and he was talking to the savory there and he said his name and I was oh my god you are Humpty. I did a podcast with you last year. We are from NipTFi and he remembered me
And then we started talking about the new projects and I invited him to get to know more about the the super flip two and We also had a call this week on Wednesday, so we presented to him the new
did the new projects, the new vision and we he is willing to help us with connections and because we need someone to be our voice there because sometimes being here in Brazil is hard for us to achieve
the West market and we need someone to be our voice in the West and we were looking for that so that's why we were talking to Ben to help him to now and I also met FUNGEBOWS there again FUNGEBOWS is
a very close partner of us and he is very influential in Twitter, Instagram and guess. And there was an event hosted by February, QVC that was amazing because there were like
more than 30 BCs there and we were
know we were able to talk to many of them at the same place. So I got more than 15 contacts there and it was amazing because I was able to talk to them
and present the protocol, talk about needs, files, tricks, and things like that, and get their contact. Next week, we are going to start the follow-up calls to present the protocol.
call again and to have a proper meeting because that event was just for like a first meeting, a first in person meeting and now we're going to have these follow up calls to
have the opportunity to present the protocol to tell them that we are raising funds and stuff like that.
but overall it was amazing. I am very excited about
these next months. Nice, Minisius. We are super stoked to see what we will be building in the next months. It seems like you were shooting a herd of elephants there.
So it's probably very, very hard to miss some, some, any good stuff must come from, from, from these, right? So we are super happy and glad that you had the opportunity to go there.
for what you're saying it was a complete success. So proud to be part and happy to hear that from you. Yes, and we already scheduled a call with Ben on
next Wednesday. So we are very excited because we are going to show him the all-new vision that we have for NIFT-5 and Strayvan Flip. And yes, so we are very excited about that.
Ben's a great guy. Awesome. And we have Kryptonita up here too. He didn't speak yet. Are you
Are you okay, Kryptonita? If you please, you had your hands up a couple of minutes ago. Oh go ahead, go ahead.
GM GM everyone nice to see you all here. I was missing these spaces nice to see being here If they were and I went to like what is the highlight of if they were for you man like I know that you Where they're like looking for connections top
moment for you on his day. I think we were hugging because Vinicius already answered that. It was the first question made by Dani to him. Exactly the same question. Yes, but I think you were
You can try again. Like I said, the main highlights for me, I guess, was the main event as well as the deciding
events where I was able to go to the bankless hour to the Tekken branch and meet some of the partners that we had only had meetings online, like being a lot like off.
And I guess that the most amazing moment was meeting Ben in person because I am a huge fan and being able to talk to him and talk about our protocol in person was very unforgettable moment.
I'm not I'm having a lot of troubles with Twitter today, so I was not
Everyone Yeah, like I will ask another question like I don't know if you guys are leaving me but like
I'm not hearing you.
I'm not here. I hope you guys are hearing me. I want to be the the North Star here. Kryptonite is rugged. He looks he's connected.
to me. So he's probably regging. He's probably connection, connection problems there. So I think that you have to go, Vinices. Thank you very much for joining us. I have a hard stop now.
Yeah, yeah, and we don't want to mess with that, right? So thank you very much for coming here to share a little with us about your experience there. We were all excited and waiting to hear from you because we are
looking forward to see what will be the next step. So it was great to have you here. Thank you for sharing this in the first hand, even that you used to healing and hope you have a quick healing and have some rest.
It's great for your throat. Okay, thank you. I'll try to come back if the meeting ends sooner.
But if it doesn't, I will be here next week. Absolutely. Much love and have a great day, brother. Thank you guys. Bye, much love everyone. Bye bye. Thank you.
Donnie, you were not supposed to say goodbye yet because we are going to until 10pm 9am
I'm lost in time here, sorry. 9 am is what I meant. Kryptonita, now you can speak. Are you back? Are you internet working? I think so, man. I'm having a lot of trouble with Twitter last few days, but
I change your relations here. I think it's not a little bit better. It seems like it is your Wi-Fi is breaking you. Yeah, we are in your loud and clear. Hey, my biggie!
My big curiosity about it and so far is related to this update that they released it. It was like a surprise update, wasn't it? I forgot the name of the update, but the one that is related to
identity in the network. So what do you guys have to say about that? How was the repercussion there? Did people like it? Did you guys like it? What do you hear that?
Do you mean like the contraption update? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, awesome. I was not able to hear all of the speakers there. Fortunately, I was like recording a lot of stuff.
to a lot of different people on different books. But yeah, after the event, I get to know that this EIP 4337 and I'm really bullish right now. We are experiencing a lot of amazing things.
being deployed and being created on the Ethereum ecosystem. I think we all should be bullish on a product structure right now. We know that this can change a lot of things and can improve a lot of on-chain things. And yeah, I mean, people there were really
bullish on their system as a whole. But a lot of the times when we got to talk about, especially with ZK protocols and ZK rollups, they were very bullish on the contract extraction. Like this can improve a lot of the problem that we have nowadays regarding to like sharing information
I'm bullish on this. I'm bullish on the theory as a whole. I think this EIP is going to help us a lot. Not only users, but also protocols and etc. So yeah, I mean, like there is a lot of stuff released on
I think it was like completely released there. Before it was made, we were able to create a project by brand name.
Now everyone that wants to try this new feature can do. Also, Optimus released their super change. Optimus is doing an amazing job with this dev and marketing. I was someone that always cherish it for Albert.
But I'm not gonna lie, I got more bullish with Optimus after if they were there. Their booth was awesome, they were so receptive to us. Talked with a lot of them, trying to do some partnerships, trying to do some interviews. And at the same time, I mean, I've been from
was not I don't know man I did not feel great there I tried to talk with some guys that were representing represent armed from there but they were not as receptive as the optimist people have optimist people were so I'm starting
to be a little more bullish on optimism than Arbitrum but I still respect both and I still hope both keep growing in it. We have a lot of things that go our release a day like I actually started to write some points that I've learned at the event because
Because it's four days to full knowledge to know a lot of people. So it's a little bit hard to remember everything. And if I don't write things, they always get lost. Crypto always have a lot of things happening.
and I like start to write everything that I remember that happened at the event because man like there are so much stuff happening there are so much stands there like a lot of companies a lot of protocols and like of course we were not able to talk with all of
them but for those that we already know before it, if they were already we're involved, it was awesome to meet these people. And there are some points that I'm really bullish is that basically every major protocol
or that was at East Aver, there was at least one people that speak Portuguese, like Brazilian or from Portugal. And I'm really bullish on that. The Portuguese people that speak Portuguese are getting everywhere. And that's really, really amazing.
That's crazy because everyone thinks that we speak Spanish. A lot of people speak in Portuguese. It's very, very great to me. It makes the bullish. I can't see Brazil being
in a lot with Portugal. I can see in Qing Ling also doing some some YouTube lives. I can see Brazil very very friendly with with Portugal and that's great because you know let's just
three the Portuguese. And Brazil has a has a vocation we are we're pioneers in terms of technology we always were you know it was a Brazilian that created the automated gear for for car
It was a Brazilian that created the airplane. It was a Brazilian that created the optical fiber, not only Brazilian, but there was a couple of Brazilian in development team if I'm not wrong. So, the Brazilians are all about innovation, you know, in terms of
of technology and we are very open minded. You see that residents are very representatives in the crypto market right now. In the NFT markets we are one of the biggest communities so yeah, I got to show Brazil some respect, right?
Yeah man. I think we've talked with some, I think to us they had a product on this case Sinkman and he was Brazilian man it was awesome because we were doing some interviews there and like we can't we can do it in English and put subtitles on but he's always
better to make these interviews and Portuguese. Like you feel more connected with the people that you are interviewing, you are able to ask more questions, like try to create some connection, and it surprises me a lot. We are everywhere in the world, we are working with amazing protocols, like trying to develop your
amazing things, some blockchain. So I was very bullish getting to know that, that makes me like we can reach this start, not because we are Brazilians or because we are not native speakers of English, that we cannot get like anywhere we want.
actually like we like we can get like on big protocols, big layer ones, ZK roll ups and I'm a hyper for that man like we should, we're Brazilian and the people that speak Portuguese also should compare the word man, not only people that just speak English and I'm
proud I'm proud of having you and you off there to guys that I admire to young handsome brilliant guys there representing Brazil I am pretty sure that you guys raised the bar like a couple of levels there by representing us so thank you thank you
guys for your disposal, you know, for being so passionate about creep and to spread in the name and representing us out there, not only in the Nistro-Fibre Brazil. It was certainly great to have you both there.
Yeah, man. No, thank you for it. Thank you for the kind of words, but yeah, I mean like it was great to get some awesome Brazilian's there and get to connect with the Latin ecosystem and like we I was talking with the guys like man We are like we are trying to develop
We are the same mission, we may be working with different projects but in the end of the day we have the same mission, we want to work with people, we want to work with people, we want to work with people, we want to work with people, we want to work with people, we want to work with people, we want to work with people, we want to work with people, we want to work with people, we want to work with people,#
show people from all these countries that they can use crypto, use blockchain, not only for earning some money but trying to create solutions to real world problems. We actually talked with some guy at PowerGit Technology from Polkadot that is developed
And he asked from Colombia and he told me that he developed a lot of use cases to these countries such as Brazil, such as Colombia and etc. Because it's coming obvious that we need crypto here.
matter of if but it's a matter of must mean like we we have some inflation problems we have some monetary problems in crypto can change so a lot of this of this problem so yeah and I think I think the Latin America ecosystem is going to grow a lot in the next few years
That's cool. I have a question. Did you did you see something about now? So I'll need them. Where how was the downish ecosystem there?
I don't know if you all are hearing me. I'm hearing. I'm listening to you. Yeah. Okay. I'm glad I don't have a good ears listening to you.
but I can speak about now in Denver. I saw some, I didn't saw like a huge activation of the bonus. I saw some guys that were with now Nishster and some
some glad, some nougat, some skates, when you come with Mars, t-shirts, stuff like that, I saw some of these guys.
I think it would be a huge, broader activation. In that cone was a little bit like
bigger the activation of nouns they had some some stuff here and there but in the in the neighbor was like just people having fun with knowledge stuff not so much an official knowledge staying or stuff like that so yeah
I missed this. It was something that we recorded a podcast there. One thing that I asked the guys was what kind of things you would be here and
wasn't or wasn't too big One thing that I was thinking about to you know, ask a discussion was really knowledge because I think knowledge nation and it is very very is huge and deserve a lot of experts
You know, a lot of presence. It wasn't too many people with the knowledge stuff. So I believe it could be bigger. If you were there, I think things were different to my friend.
Well, thank you friend for the answer.
One thing I want to ask Danny, what is your next event out of Brazil? Do you have any plans? Yes, I have October. I'm going to his article in Barcelona. It will be of course a changing event, so definitely I will be there.
Guys, I just want to answer, I didn't get to hear the question that he asked, but I heard like see office answer and I just want to add that even though
We have not seen a lot of now that the Vations that I've seen a lot of people from Orange now that there is like some kind of intersection with now because they use the novels on their orange and they were basically with some amazing backpack that
was like some pixel backpack that showed it the orange dial logo and I didn't get to talk with a lot of these guys but basically every day that we went to the main event I saw at least two or three people from orange dial so
We did not see a lot of activations, but these people were there trying to get to know people, trying to invest in some projects, and trying to... Dispade the meme from now on. But go ahead, friends. I just wanted to add this.
Yeah, I think that to this upwind can do any of it. She was expecting for a better answer to this question. She was expecting you to say that it was different. But I don't know. I don't think that this is bad at all.
Now people are not everybody's willing to travel to events like that because this event is better than the real event stuff. It's more connected to the coin itself, right, to the token and the technology.
of the network. So I don't think it is the main place for stuff like a collection like now and so Dom Bidza pointed on it. And you guys are so fancy travel here and there she's going to
Barcelona is amazing all year. Just commenting on one thing that Hermes spoke.
I think that Ethereum Denver surprised me a lot with infrastructure. They were very focused on infrastructure. It is what we expected because Ethereum Denver had focused on the
Activations on infrastructure is very infrastructure based event. What I'm saying is that it's more easy to see in full activation quick notes, quick notes, activations,
as you can see, activations, optimize activations, then like knowledge, ones or part Apes or more cultural stuff, I would say. - So you're supporting what I said. I mean, yeah. - Exactly. - All right, exactly. - All right, I said. - Okay.
That's what I thought. I'm happy that you guys think that you saw the same there because there's the NFTLA happening right now or it will be happening in a couple of days. I'm not sure. So I think there is where you will find more people from.
Yeah, from collections, right? Yeah, and then after Paris, Paris, what happened like one week before, if you endeavor in South by Southwest is happening in a couple days. So I think these are the events that most collections will be, you know,
is more probable that will be more visual. I will bet a lot to the Southwest because most collections are trying to go mainstream. They want to become cultural brands, not just collections. So I think that will be more
I look at more in this event to see more activations of collections than other two, more complex activations. One thing that I want to point out is that
even though Ethernetver was very infrastructure centered. We had some social downs making their way into the event. I can mention Coppul here. I can mention Biosclub. I can mention Coppul.
though I can mention the lens protocol, even though the lens protocol is very tech-based, actually. They have a infrastructure based, at the end of the day, lens protocol is all about social interactions. How is a social network?
and the end of the day. So people need to have the urge or the kind of formal of being part of it and I think when it's brought up all of this is not the right way because people want the more. People related to the to the to the brand. People
like it. When I saw Lesbroko for the first time, I saw, okay, but one more social network. Why I would do that? Why I would have a Lesbroko? Why I would have the trouble to do things that I will lost time to have what more
file. Why do I do that? The social network for me was not a lesbian or a pv for me. But right now it is a lot. Right now I can do things on Arb, file in the file that is based on lesbian or
It is interoperability with my Lainster and all my social media related to this protocol. It is amazing. The interop of these desaps are amazing. Really really are amazing. The thing is
I understand how a lens protocol is right now. I thought, okay, but nobody is... there's not so much people in lens, there's a lot of more people in Twitter. Why would a giant lens? I think it is.
Lens is like a fraternity house. You know, when you are in the university, you have the flat house. You have few people, but it's people that are mainly more connected.
in the university. But you were in a club, you know, you were in the small club and you can talk with people more directly. So I think Linzburg was become like that when you feel a bit of the tension of the merge and of
lens protocol in the itunes lever you can you can relate a lot with the fraternity house with university stuff and I think that that gets me because Facebook started in the same way started in college
college stuff and started at a club. It's a small club and become the biggest club of the world. But yeah, that gets me. That convinces me and for me and for a lot of people have a
I am bullish on lens. I was searching again in their website because I want to join. I want to buy a handle. But I'm not sure how to do that yet. I saw that you can buy some handles like at Secondary. I don't pay open C but
I would like to have my own randle, I mean, Errim's Gigi and stuff, so I'm not sure how to do that yet, but I'm certainly making some research and giving some time to that because I've been bullish on Lenswar a long time now. Well, one guy that is very
good to talk with you.
One of the early members of Bancliffe Brazil just for the note here all Bancliffe Brazil members have have their alliance protocol have their alliance profile because of Pedro Velova so Definitely you should talk with him
Yeah, I will reach out to Peter. I am aware of his representativeness there.
Yeah, I think that's it guys, isn't it? I think we covered it all. Yeah, so I want to say thank you everyone for supporting me through this two weeks being the host here. It was a pleasure and I'm
It's great to be here with you every morning guys. So in the next week I'm pretty sure that Vito will be healed and that everything is getting back to the standards. So a pleasure to support this
this GM through this week's end. Thank you for helping me, Danny. Half of you is always here. Everyone for helping me make this happen and to support this space during this absent period from my beloved boss and
and Kryptonita, my colleague.
For those that don't know, Hermes have holy fams. It is through this space that is based on the uncanny country club community and it is very, very amazing as well. The topics are, the themes are very appealing.
I want to say every time that I see I want to join. Sometimes I can't because of the time but the ones that I joined I was very excited to join. Third week's now, man. The last one was the number 30. So it's been a ride. Yeah.
amazing so thank you my friend thank you guys hope to see you back here Monday at AAM AST I hope you guys have a great day a great weekend it's Friday right so party hard while you are
young. Much love to you all. And let's cheer. Great news today for Nifty Phi and 4WP3 2. Why not? So have a great day guys. Much love. Much love. Bye.
